Hi everyone,

Over the last weeks I have started to explore IPFS more seriously.
IPFS, the Inter-Planetary File System, is supposed to be the
next-generation Web: a decentralized content-addressed database.

Since there is nothing better then Pharo for exploring databases,
I have started to write an IPFS interface to Pharo:

   https://github.com/khinsen/ipfs-pharo

It connects to a local IPFS server, so you have to have one
running. It's surprisingly straightforward to install and configure,
unless you have to fight with firewalls that block IPFS traffic.


Great work ! I think Marcus was interested to have something like that.

yes!

IPFS has nice properties for many things��� e.g. one simple things to try is to distribute images via IPFS��� it has all the
propose of Bittorrent for that.  Imagine your case in Africa��� very nice for that already.
